wrong but also confusing and sending mixed messages to our troops and allies. >> they don't happen to be accurate. i can say this. we are talking about the middle east and how to help the middle east reject the kind of terrorism we are seeing and the rising tide of confusion. attacking me is not the agenda. stem the tide of this violence. >> they were going at it there. what about the catch phrase moments? we had the big bird line, binders fill of women. last night it was horses and bayonets. >> our air force is older and smaller than anytime since it was founded in 1947. >> you mentioned the navy, for

example and we have fewer ships than 1916. we have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. you watched with with some folks. when he uttered that line what happened? >> reporter: did you see the patriot patriot? >> "patriot." >> that is the last time you saw horses and bayonets. it got a lot of reaction at the rock the vote party last night. they played close attention. that comment comes out of a very serious discussion about the military budget. romney made the point that he wasn't going to cut the military

budget. obama said i am going to give more money and attention to our vets. i'm going to put more focus into making sure veterans affairs gets the funding that it needs. as for the folks at the debate party they had a lot of opinions about all the different subjects that were reached. >> obama has daughters, comes across as a loving father that cares about our future for not only men but women. i think that has come out in all the debates. >> romney's experience of creating jobs and wealth for himself as an individual as our president has not done that. romney has a track record of creating jobs. he knows where to cut businesses and how to create jobs. >> reporter: what it is coming down to now both romney and bomb

hittibomb -- obama hitting the battle ground states and still focusing on women and the undecideds that are out there. >> we have nine undecided. you just mention women. here is cnn poll. who won the debate? look at the gender gap screaming at us. according women president obama won. 22% there. >> reporter: definite gap. four years ago obama had the woman's vote sealed. no question about it. when this began there was a lot of talk about the female vote. we have been talking about that for months. you saw it at both conventions both romney and obama talking about women and having their wives come up and give key speeches.

still even now less than or about two weeks away from the election they are both still going for the female vote. so far it looks like obama has the chance of sealing that again. >> we are going to be talking a little over an hour from now with a first-hand account of what moms thought of the debate. analysts say president obama gets the edge last night. cnn poll was 48-40 all told that he won. mitt romney did good saying that the president many experts saying he got the edge. let's bring back dr. ed lee. good to have you back here. we are third and final round. do you agree with the assessment that the president gets the nod last night? >> absolutely. the president has a home field advantage when it comes to foreign policy. he has access to intel information that the romney

campaign doesn't. this is clearly an area in which he is able to excel. >> let's talk about tone. you talk tone. the president was on the attack. he was attacking mitt romney. mitt romney said attacking me is not a plan. did the president go too far or were the attacks right? >> i don't think he went too far. i can understand why people can think that is the case. one of the more memorable moments was in the second presidential debate where obama defended his record in benghazi and got an audience applause. we also want to keep in mind that this debate was about whether or not each could pass the test of being commander in chief. what obama was trying to do was disqualify romney from being able to be a consistent

commander in chief by bringing up areas where romney has been inconsistent. >> experts say that mitt romney did -- maybe he lost on points but passes the commander in chief test. >> the bar for that was pretty low on what you need to do. particularly with this being a domestic election where the economy is what we are primarily concerned about ultimately that was the reason why romney was tacking back to the center because he ultimately needed to make sure that the public didn't connect his economic agenda to a foreign policy strategy that was more hawkish. i thought he was successful in doing that. >> it is a strong suit. that could decide this election. let's listen to mitt romney here. he got under the president's skin talking about this apology

tour. let's listen to that. >> the president began what i called an apology tour going to various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. i think they looked at that and saw weakness. >> nothing governor romney just said is true. starting with the notion of me apologizin apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper told during the course of this campaign. >> i thought the discussion was good. it was clear it was an area in which obama had been thinking about and concerned about how the american public would perceive him as being someone on the side of america and on the side of american leadership. i thought this was a good place and one of the better moments for romney and the way in which the president responded. >> hopefully we have time real quick. where president obama is going after mitt romney for thinking.

>> you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s just like the social policies of the 1950s and the economic policies of the 1920s. if i had known you werane position to execute foreign policy but every time you offered an opinion you have been wrong. we had fewer ships that 1916. we have fewer horses and bayonets. >> good attack plan for the president? >> i think communication and debates are about memorable moments. what will the public think about two days from now? those are the things, those are the lines that the public will think about. we have the twitter feeds going gagaabout bayonets and horses and buggies.

beverage and five deaths. in a couple of minutes we will check in with our medical correspondent and get you the details you need to know about it.

the fda is looking at whether monster energy drink is responsible for the deaths of five people including a 14-year-old girl. last week the teen's mom filed a lawsuit against the makers of the beverage. monster the top selling energy drink says it doesn't believe the drink was linked to the teen's death. a lot of questions here. joining me to talk about this is senior medical correspond elizabeth cohen.

let's get to the tragedy at hand. >> when you take a look at the lawsuit they say she edrank two 24 ounce cans of the drink. this is 16 ounces. they say she drank one can larger than this and 24 hours later drank another can. it says she knew she had and her parents presumably knew that she had a heart condition. she had a valve condition and nobody had told her she needed to be careful with caffeine. when you have these conditions it is well known you are supposed to be careful with caffeine. this is a lot of caffeine. there is a lot of caffeine in here. people are supposed to be careful with caffeine with this condition. >> if you take the two cans that she drank which were larger than these that is about the same as the amount of caffeine in like

14 cokes or 13 pepsis. it is probably even more and i will explain why. there is something called guarana which has caffeine in it. there is caffeine and then the guarana has caffeine. so there was at least that much caffeine in there. >> just real quick on that point and i know you are about empowering us as patients and consumers we need to know those things. when you are drinking that will give you a jolt then the hidden caffeine like guarana and a couple of other things. >> i'm going to be a little judgmental out there. i have a daughter this age. and she has been telling me for a couple of years now that her friends when they can't finish their homework 11:00 and 12:00 at night that they are chugging these. as a mother i go ewhat are those

parents thinking? i know they may seem harmless. it is not like chugging alcohol or something. when something is called monster it is called monster for a reason. so you want to be careful. in this case the girl did have a heart condition that put her at higher risk. caffeine is a stimulant to your heart. this is not the same as drinking a glass of water. >> or one soda or a cup of coffee. >> and i'm not trying to say that i'm blaming anyone for anything. know what you are drinking and know your health history. >> five deaths potentially linked here. should there be warnings? should the fda be jumping in here? >> even potentially linked that language people are uncomfortable with. there was a lawsuit and the folks who filed the family managed to get this information

in the public with the five deaths linked. you called the fda and said you knew this. they said there is no cause and effect relationship here. we haven't -- no one has established that the drinks cause the problems. so they didn't make this public until the lawsuit forced them to make it public. all the more reason why you need to be an empowered parent and empowered patient. it may be the deaths had nothing to do with the drinks. you can eat or drink anything or take any drug you want and you can call the fda and something bad happens you can call the fda and say i ate a carrot and got a blister on my toe. there is no causal relationship. there is no cause and effect. they take these in and investigate each one. they never made this public until the lawsuit forced them to. >> knowledge is power to know what is in this or any drink like this.

do what you want. you want to get a jolt or something so you can workout better but know how much is in there. >> and know that you are doing this to get a jolt to stay awake. would you let your kids sit down and drink seven sodas at a time? >> no. >> there you go. >> good stuff, as always. we'll keep following this one. two weeks from today voters will elect the next president of the united states. last night the political fight for the white house in the swing state of florida final debate for americans to see president obama and mitt romney go at it face to face. foreign policy issues and zingers. >> the president began what i called an apology tour going to various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. i think they saw weakness. >> nothing governor romney said is true starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the

biggest whopper that has been told during the course of this campaign. >> the reason i called it an apology tour is because you went to the middle east and flew to egypt and saudi arabia and turkey eand iraq and by the way you skipped israel. >> when i went to israel as a candidate. i didn't take donors and didn't attend fundraisers. i went to the holocaust museum there to remind myself the nature of evil and why our bond with israel will be unbreakable. >> so who won the third and final debate? cnnorc poled people. 48% say president obama won. in the previous debates mitt romney winning in colorado. those are people in the swing state of florida watching the debate last night under the stars. this is the rock the vote watch

party and kyra phillips was there and got a pulse of what people thought the candidates answers on the middle east. >> four years ago vice president biden said himself that obama would be tried by the arb countries and terrorists across the world. it is evident that he has been pushed to the limit. he has done a lot of talking but has yet to do anything with iraq except talk. >> i'm from israel so i do value israel security, of course. but i don't think that war is always the first thing to go to. i think we have seen that mistake already a few times. and so i just prefer obama. i think he is more level headed. >> that is some folks in florida. what are you saying? you're chiming in on twitter and our facebook page. here is a sampling. steve says obama came off like an unconfident rude bully. romney carried his weight well and was very professional.

to be chosen to be able to do that? >> it's a huge honor. i mean not too many students get the opportunity to sit in the actual seat of the president of the united states. i had a lot of goose bumps. it's unreal. >> you're part of the student council here. it's called the nights of the round table. you were selected because you looked exactly like the president. when you found out that you were picked, what did you think? >> i felt like it was a dream. i didn't feel like it was real. i didn't know what else to say? >> so you walked out on the stage, how did that feel? describe it? >> when i came back from backstage the lights were on me, it was just like, wow, this is happening. >> and then you had printed out the president's views on all the issues, so when the stand in moderator asked you questions, what did you enjoy talking about? >> i enjoyed talking about afghanistan and bringing the

troops home and that's what he -- that's what president obama's about, is bringing the troops home. >> eric stay with me. i want to move on to another -- she actually started the debate team a year ago when she found out the debate was going to be here. >> because we're students at lynne university, we don't study just from the textbook or the classroom, we study from the real world outside. and we have improved our public speaking skill and besides the students have the opportunity to compete and improve their logical thinking. >> there's so many foreign students here, you're half chinese, half vietnamese, what did you learn last night that you and the other members of the debate team are going to use in these mock debates before

election time? >> last night president obama was very aggressive because he met his opening and feeling like he's getting there. on the other hand mr. romney had a lot of experience and he was very calm and gave a lot of statistics and that's great as well. >> mike, it was really neat, not only to be at the watch parties and to listen to the debate and meet students on the campus and meet students like eric and mimi. i think about my kids, and you think about your kids, i hope they get an experience like this, imagine sitting in the seat where a president is going to do a debate. or being the one that founded the debate team at the college that held the presidential debate. fired up about the election. >> let me ask you real quick, last week you were part of a

watch party that we put together. these people were partisan, team romney, team obama. last night it was a different crowd. did you get some of that same passion? or what was the difference in the crowd that you were with? >> we met a lot of people that were for romney. we met a lot of people that were for obama and i think that's what makes this election so easy, well, not easy, but i guess so interesting is that there isn't a huge amount of voters right now who are saying they're going to vote for romney, or the opposite. a majority of voters out there going, they're going to vote for obama. this is neck and neck, this is a tight race, and still right down to the wire, we're wondering who's going to eke out a win. >> tara great work as always, and you and i have talked so much about it, the votes of moms out there, women, what resonated with them last night? obviously who won last night. let's take a look at the cnnorc

poll, who watched the debate. of all the people that watched, president obama gets the vote, 48% to 40%. when you break it down by gender, look at the gender gap here, women by 28 points say president obama won, but the men say that mitt romney woman 46-41. how about that for a gender gap. let's bring back our election correspondent cafemoms.com. >> foreign policy among the moms we have surveyed has not been as high on their list of concerns, but with the race as tight as it is now, many, many, many moms tuned in last night. and there's -- i thought, melissa, twitter put it really well, she said i think when things are bad here, it's hard for us to be worried about the world, we're worried about our own kids futures.

>> were there specific moments that stuck out with moms, lindsay? >> i think any time foreign policy was discussed when it relates to terrorism attacks and deadly weapons, that was higher on moms' concern list. when obama talked about increasing military funding, i found that democrat and republican moms seemed to be opposed to increasing military spending, most want to leave it where it is, we're fine with what we have or decrease it in some cases. >> when foreign policy is not number one, mitt romney when he could pivoted out and into the economy, because that's his strong suit. what did moms say when he did that? >> they loved it. any time the talk turned back to domestic policy, the interest definitely went up. they're not talking about other countries right now, they're talking about our economy, our

debt, they want to hear what the candidates have to say about that. >> mitt romney, president obama, most would say more on the attack, let's listen to the line everybody's talking about. what moms are saying about horses and bayonets. let's listen to it. >> i think governor romney hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works, you mentioned the navy for example and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets, things have changed, we have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. >> that's a memorable line, what did the moms say about that? >> i think that was definitely the line of the night, the one that everybody picked up on. but they didn't seem to think there were any major gaffs made by either candidate. they liked the overall tone. they were very pleased by it. they said this was the most

presidential of the three debates and they were kind of glad that there wasn't any parring in the middle of the floor and they weren't worried about fist fights this time. all right, it's nice to have a beautiful view from your house, take this nabtd in washington state, for example. but the view doesn't quite make up for the living conditions. no wonder this neighborhood has been called armageddon creek. we have got the info on what's causing that. rogaine? well, i'll admit it.

another county, from one of the other shootings. they have taken fragments from people's cars that have been shot at, and they are pulling all that in. what i can tell you is that this does appear to be a handgun. not a sniper like the d.c. sniper. i was out at many of those crime scenes and also driving home throughout the d.c. area, it was frightening, it was horrible. and in those cases. they were deliberate acts of premeditated murder. in h case, what it appears to be right now. it's just that someone just goes down the road. at this point, it's very serious, it's very dangerous and they're looking for anyone with information, in one case a witness described it as being a ford mustang, and another

welcome back. late breaking information coming in from the jessica ridgeway case. the police made a direct connection between the murder of this 10-year-old girl and a man who attack ad female jogger back in may. in that may attack, 22-year-old woman was jogging when a man grabbed her from behind, tried to put a chemical laced rag over her mouth. she escaped and called 911. the officers never found the attacker. that suspect was described as a light-skinned man who ranged in age from 18 to his 30s.

brown hair, medium build. during that attack he was wearing a dark blue baseball cap, small rimmed sunglasses, black t-shirt and blue jeans. back to jessica ridgeway. she disappeared october 5 while walking to school. five days later her remains were found not far from her home. let's go to tom, former police chief and investigator. he has been following this close. the word i'm seeing here, tom, is definitive link. what makes up a definitive link in a case like this? >> good afternoon. a definitive link means that this have some certain evidence that is scientifically soundproof. that may be in the form of hair, body fluids, something like that. and they have matched these two samples. what they are going to be doing

next will be comparing these two unknown samples related in two separate crimes matching them against the combined dna index system that's run by the fbi. and what they try to do is determine if this unknown individual is a repeat -- you know, recidivist. somebody that has been arrested in the past and will come up with a name. that's where they are headed with in when they say they have scientific certain proof. >> got it. ok okay. >> the combined dna index system which is maintained the fbi. >> okay. you take that, dna that matches jessica's murder and also the -- attack back in may, and then that's put in the system. what's the timeline? how long does it take to find out if we got a match here with some registered sex off enders, something like that?

>> well -- it will take some time. i would say days. but i'm sure that they have been, you know, around the clock working this because of the -- you know, precarious nature of this -- i believe that this is a fresh out of the box homicidal psychopath who escalated his behavior in the past -- recent past. this past year. this individual dna may not even be in the database at this point in time. >> when you say fresh out of the box, you are saying that this isn't someone that may have committed a crime like the two or five years ago but just in the last year ramped up this kind of criminal behavior. >> yes. from what we know about the profile, particularly about -- you know, child objection murderers, it is a very distinctive profile about them.

they are people who have a history of acting out sex crimes and this -- i suspect is a younger person, somebody in that your 20s, who has escalated and is now in full-blown psychotic state here. this is a dangerous individual. >> sure sounds like it. just one other thing. i know that there are reports that there was a similar type of attack back in 2010. we hope we have a break in the case. we will say that. thanks again. we appreciate your time. expertise on this. hopefully we will talk soons that continues to play out. let's talk about the election. here we go. two weeks from today it is election day. we will vote for president of the united states. last night final chance for americans on a grand stage the two candidates go head-to-head. foreign policy issues on the docket. talking about things like the middle east, let's listen. >> said that first we should not

have a timeline in afghanistan. then you said we should. now you say maybe. or depends. which means not only were you wrong but you are also confusing and sending mixed messages to our troops and allies. >> don't concur with what the president said of my own record and things i said. they don't happen to be accurate. but -- i can say this. that we are talking about the middle east and how to help the middle east reject the kind of terrorism we are seeing and rising tide of tumult and confusion. and -- attacking me is not an agenda. attacking me is not talking about how we are going to deal with the challenges that exist in the middle east and take advantage of the opportunity there and stem the tide of this violence. >> there's substance there. what about the moment that we are going to remember that goes wild in social media. big bird comment. the catch word or catch phrase from last night, horses and bayonets during an exchange of the u.s. navy. let's watch it.

>> our navy is smaller now than any time since 1917. our air force is older and smaller than any any time since it was founded in 1947. >> you mentioned the navy. we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military has changed. >> who won last night? the president. when you break it down by gender, really interesting. women said the president won by 22 points. 56% to 34%. then you look at men and the majority of men said that governor romney won, beating the president 46% to 41%. let the campaigning now really kicks in. there's nine battleground states left. by the way mitt romney is hitting those on the west side,

nevada, colorado. everybody will be going to go to ohio. president will be swinging through florida, ohio, colorado and virginia. last stop new hampshire. one of the mine states. analysts saying we saw the poll, president obama had the edge of last night's debate with mitt romney who is actually agreeing with the president a lot more than most thought he would. what did each candidate's body language really subway them? joining me to talk about that, body language expert, chris. what was the message behind the messagesome what were you seeing about body language here? were they more angry and on edge than what we saw? >> well, it is a great question. in the last debate, the second debate, we saw a lot of political theater. here people are saying it is less political theater, that does not mean there wasn't a lot of action going on here. both candidates -- president obama using what we call power basketball type steeple here to explain his points, keeping his body language open and always turning at romney and confronting romney. romney really dominated the room most of the night.

we saw a very different measured -- mr. romney with his hands crossing the interlocked position. starting the debate. seen the prior debates, his hands were much more engaged, here about being attentive and also almost obedient so he could be seen as much more acceptable and part of their measured strategy. i don't think it worked for him overall. >> why do you say that? >> if you look at him during that debate, there is a lot of times he's kind of sitting very kind of -- locked in like this. what we saw in the previous debates, him turning and engaging the president and really taking him on. there are a lot much opportunities where he missed that opportunity to turn andiousing his own powerful body language we saw in the first debate and the second debate and take the president on where the president was landing a lot of zingers at him with that open and powerful body language. >> let's watch one. let's watch when mitt romney went at the president and is talking about an apology tour p. the president didn't like it. it is mitt romney basically say when the president first took office, went on the tour, let's

gauge body language. it will be interesting to see what you say. >> the president began what i called an apology tour of going to various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. i think they look at that and saw weakness. >> nothing governor romney said is true. starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper told during the course of this campaign. >> after that mitt romney did look at president obama and said here is why i called it an apology tour because you went to this country and that country ask skipped israel. was this more mitt romney being more assertive than -- >> yes. and -- let's keep in mind here watching the president, that -- both of these guys throughout the debate and part of the action, something we call micro expresses. expressi expressions that happen within 1/15th of a second. when he was calling mitt out on the maef and attacks in that particular situation, he does a half smile, contempt.

where we -- call this moral superior thank you where we feel our answer is better and we have the better opinion than what's being put at us. what romney was taking on the president he flashes an expression of anger, brow comes down and face gets tense. aimed at really hammering home his point. yes, it was -- this was a confrontational point in the debate that was saw last night. >> how do you compare mitt romney from debate number lee and mitt romney from debate number one? talk body language. >> great question. total reversal. almost a decision to gae back to the romney we had expected to see in the first debate. gestures were very controlled and confined in his body. first debate we saw him very engaged, turning to the president, using a lot of hand gestures. in this debate we saw him go back to a much more measured approach. the only thing we do notice with him, something he did periodically when he was being zinged by the president is this -- interesting thing we call a tongue protrusion where he literally would stick his

tongue out at the president. like a really quick do this to him on a couple of occasions. really interesting thing that shows anxiety and worry and where we saw much more comfortable mitt romney in first debate. uneasiness about the governor in this debate especially talking about foreign poll. >> i message behind the message, body language expert, chris. we appreciate it and thanks again. we heard from analysts and chris there. what would you think? what would you think about the debate? what moment stuck out with you the most? we will read some of your tweets, facebook posts in 30 minutes. you can still weigh in. just go to facebook.com/hln or find this at twitter at hlntv. love hearing from you. a planned intervention from lindsay lohan according to her father. michael lohan is taking heat. he actually called in to jane velez-mitche velez-mitchell's show to explain himself. ♪

samantha is 4'11" tall, weighs 98 pounds, blond hair and blue eyes. we will keep you posted on that. welcome back to hln. the desperate search for a 12-year-old girl missing in new jersey has ended in tragedy. police found the body of autumn in clayton yesterday. she was last seen on saturday. autumn told her dad she was just riding her bike to a friend's house. she never made it. search crews found her body inside of a recycling container. an autopsy is scheduled for today. police say they have no suspects yet. let's talk to investigator reporter. michelle, i realize this is very, very early. but what -- there has been other crimes in this area that they are looking for possible connections to. tell us about that. >> there are other crimes. i do have some breaking and new information for the viewers right now. i spoke with the westwood police

department. he tells me that on october 18, this is about two hours away from where autumn was -- autumn's body was found. there was an attempted abduction of a 13-year-old in the area. she was not harmed. she was not taken. but she was approached by a gentleman. and when she got to school she gave all that information to officials. they set up two roadblocks in westwood. that evening and again the next morning and passed out about 2,000 flurs on that particular case. what he also tells me is that within his area, some other counties, there have been possibly six or seven other attempted abductions from those areas. i did reach out to the prosecutor's office and have not heard back yet. i'm waiting for a phone call. but they are looking for a possible link. again, that's not saying that's a link to ought up's case. but it is definitely something to be aware from that area. the suspect in that -- october 18 abduction is a white male,

short hair, balding on the top. gray four-door hatchback vehicle with the nypd sticker in the window. and he says his name is richard. >> the good news is these -- young women, young kids, that were -- person tried to abduct, were able to give a good description. >> yes. exactly. because it -- what it appears is that he was actually approaching these children, engaging in conversation, and trying to get them to come with them. there was a case i had just read literally within the last five minutes that actually may have possibly and again, we don't know if it is the same suspect or not. in one of the incidents put his hands on one of the children and tried to drag that child away from a game. so, again, the -- prosecutor's office is handling all of those attempted abduction cases. so i -- i'm waiting to hear back from them to find out if that suspect is, in fact, related to all of those cases. as for auto industry up's case i have spoken to the prosecutor's office and her case and what i can tell you is they are looking

for surveillance from any commercial business throughout the area to be able to submit that from saturday, from the time autumn was last seen around 12:30 in the afternoon. that's what we know she was reported missing around 9:30 that night. her body was found. i can also confirm to you from an officer, from the prosecutor's office in the area, found her body, at 10:00 p.m. last night at a recycling bin. i also have another piece of information. i reached out to the department of public works. i can confirm to you that they do subcontract out their trash pickup service lou outthe area. that tuesdays are, in fact, the pickup day from that area. it could possibly be someone that's very familiar with the clayton, new jersey, area. there's about 8,000 residents that live there. someone that knows that trash cycle and that -- recycle pickup from that area. that's something else to keep in mind. >> 12-year-old riding her bike to her friend's house. >> you are right.

it is horrible. unthinkable. it reminds me so much of the arianna case about 25 miles away in philadelphia. there was another little girl riding her bike and was abducted off the streets and was murdered and left for dead in a building. her case is linked to an fbi top ten most wanted. alexis flores is still on the run. there's -- there have been children that are abducted off the streets, national center for missing and exploited children say about 115 cases every single year are, in fact, stranger abductions bp 800,000 children that go missing every year. >> exactly. mishg i will, keep us posted. lots of great information. breaking news 37 we appreciate it. louisiana woman is in critical condition after being set on fire. she has burns over 60% of her body. police say she called 911 from a park sunday night and said she was on fire. they say lee men wearing hoods,

with 14 days before election day, president obama and mitt romney are battling down to the wire. for swing states and also women voters. we find both target groups at a fierce roller derby matchup in

iowa. >> reporter: if it's davenport, it's got to be roller derby and the quad city rollers. scott county is just one of several battlegrounds here in america's heart land in the one county alone, enough votes to turn the state blue or red. the rollers demonstrated the signature move. >> blocking in front of you. >> reporter: oh, by the way -- >> your bootie did block me. they're really tough. these tough and tumble american women, also voters. all about keeping the other side from moving forward? >> yeah. >> reporter: this is like politics, you realize. >> behind you. >> reporter: this waitress connie worked here for 26 years. derby name, diamond dust. her specialty, blocking. the biggest issue, the economy. >> reporter: how tough has it been? >> been tight, real tight. >> reporter: because less money?

higher gas? >> less money. people don't want to go out to eat as much as they used to. >> reporter: by day, carrie is a soshl worker helping kids with special needs. on some nights, she is lady gotcha, a jammer. that's the one that scores the points. what is important in this election? >> i want to make sure there's going to be budgeting for the people who actually need it, jobs, as well. i want there to be continued job growth. >> reporter: she'll likely vote for a third party. republicans say this is like 2004 with just a few counties broke their way giving bush a narrow victory here. democrats argue their advantage, the low unemployment rate just 5.2% among the lowest in the country. this is a single machine? >> this is a single many sheen and only part of the machine. >> reporter: scot county in iowa rebounded with help of companies like genesis systems group, a manufacturer of industrial robots, increasingly the business is overseas. are you hiring?

>> we have done some hiring this year. i think we're up about ten people. overall. but we're still about 10% lower than we were in 2007. >> reporter: scott county, an economic bright spot in the heartland who voters can be tough to win over. oh my goodness! >> whoa. miguel. >> reporter: whoa is right. >> miguel marquez joins us live now standing up straight. okay. miguel, as we get closer, though, to election day, is it going to be as intense as that derby, isn't it? in iowa, in particular. >> reporter: it is. you talked to people here in iowa, not only hearing from candidates on the phones, getting the stacks of mail from all of the candidates and making their pitch. they're getting people knocking on the door. we talked to some families three and four of the same campaign to

make sure they're getting out there to vet and the candidates coming as well. president obama here in davenport tomorrow. a few hours after him, governor romney will be in cedar rapids. so it's hot and heavy for the six huge electoral votes here in iowa. >> sounds like the folks in florida have been dealing with. you have been in several sweng states the last few weeks. how are the polls looking in iowa? >> reporter: well, they're looking tight like everywhere else. the closer to the election, the tighter the polls get and a nbc maris poll showing obama way out in front but almost all the polls the trends to within a couple of points here in iowa. the republicans feel if they can just peel off a few thousand votes in counties like scott and others they can paint the state red. >> who are the undecided voters? who are they? >> reporter: well, you know, there are a small number we the voters that are really after are those with the weak preferences. they may like obama but could

possibly go the other way and those are the ones they're focusing on. >> miguel, stay out of the roler derby. i'm scared for you. more to come on hln.

candidates face off for the third and final time. did they connect with the undecided voters? o.j. simpson been in jail for four years after the conviction of stealing from a sports memorabilia dealer. now he says he deserves a new trial. there's app to let you buy a friend a drink an and you don't have to be there. welcome back to hln. thanks as always for your time. a 14-year-old arizona girl

afghanistan. then you said we should. now you say maybe or depends. which means not only were you wrong but you were also confusing sending mixed messages. >> don't concur with what the president said about my own record and the things i have said. they don't happen to be accurate but i can say this. we're talking about the middle east and how to help the middle east reject the terrorism we are seeing and the rising tide of tumult and confusion, and attacking me is not an agenda. attacking me is not talking about how to deal with the charges that exist if the middle east and take advantage of the opportunity there and stem the tide of this violence. >> okay. so who won last night? cnn orc the poll of the people that watched the debate gives the win to president obama by 8 points. when you break it down by gender, it is interesting. take a look at this. as you can see, president obama, 56% of women think he won compared to 41% of men.

but more men think that romney did better. cafe mom.com lindsay fehrier joins us to talk about what some moms thought of the debate. always good to talk to you. i guess my first question, you know, they did talk about some domestic issues and pivot to the economy but clearly about foreign policy. how did that register with the women and the moms who visit your site? >> well, it is interesting because typically foreign policy is low on the list of concerns. it's a dry topic among moms but with the race so close, so many moms tuned in last tight and discussing this debate. and i thought that the argument between moms last night really came down to the level of involvement that they felt the united states should have in foreign affairs. one comment that was very popular on our website last night is when did america become the hall monitor of the world? let's let other countries learn to stand on their own two feet

instead of looking to us to bail them out repeatedly. that got support on the sit. >> you know, when you say that foreign policy, this particular debate could be dry for moms, i think it's dry for everybody. moms, dads, for everybody, but it's our responsibility to pay attention to these issues. >> right. >> okay. in particular, were there certain topics, perhaps at least that drew them in? >> yes. definitely everyone is most concerned about the middle east, across did board. any time the subject of nuclear weapons brought up, that got a lot of attention. terrorist attacks. beyond that, the interest level really dropped but any time back to domestic policy or the economy, everyone was tuned in again. >> okay. so let's talk about that. mitt romney was the one who seemed to try to pivot it to the economy and to domestic issues a little bit more. >> right. right. as i said the interest level shot up. what was interesting to me is that as soon as he talked about increasing military spending, it

went back down again. republican and democrat moms seem to be both opposed to increasing military spending. they either want the keep it where it is or decrease the spending. >> okay. let's play now one of the sound bites probably of the night. some people probably thought it was cheeky and funny or maybe not so much. you 'll know what i'm talking about when i play it. sit tight. here we go. >> i think governor romney maybe hasn't spent time looking at how the military works. you mentioned the navy, for example, we have fewer ships than in 1916. governor, we have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of the military changed. we have these things called aircraft carriers where planes land on them. >> how did that particular comment, the content, and also the tone of that comment, register with some people, some of the moms and women that visit your site? >> it got to a lot of attention.

moms appreciated that as a great retort but they don't think it damaged mitt romney in a significant way and think that there's no major gaffes from either candidate, that the tone was very presidential last night and handled themselves well and managed to be assertive without being rude. moms hate the rude in the debates and didn't get to that point last night and happy about it. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> tell your readers we appreciate them, as well. thank you. all right. it is nice to have a beautiful view from your house. take this neighborhood in washington state, for example, but the view doesn't make up for the living conditions, yeah. no wonder it's called armageddon creek. we have information on when's causing the destruction.

welcome back to hln. i'm richelle carey. more than a dozen roadway shootings have been reported in southeastern michigan since tuesday. and people are afraid there's serial shooter or worse, shooters, on the loose. thankfully, no one's been hit. police say the victims are targeted at random like the 2002 sniper shootings in washington, d.c. one man says he heard a bullet fly past his head when he was just taking out the trash. authorities say five cars on the same road were shot up within

minutes of each other. police released this composite sketch of the suspect and michigan authorities looking for a black ford mustang with a racing stripe down the center of the car and blue tinted front lights. a courtroom drama with a man who claims he was britney spears manager in recess. he testified in the lawsuit against spears insisted he managed her for a while and deserves a share of her millions. he wants 15% of what she earned between 2007 and 2008, rather. yesterday, a top recording executive testified he was nothing more than a gopher and handled menial tasks for her and he's suing spears' mother for libel and ruled that the medical records cannot be used. lin spears says that he controlled her daughter and gave her drugs and he says he tried

to save her from that infamous meltdown. for more on this, let's go to jane velez-mitchell. jane, he's coming at this from several angles, isn't he? >> he is coming at it from being a witness on the stand and so this is his opportunity to tell his side of the story and as you said, this is a battle royale between the two factions. you have britney spears and her mom and dad on one side and lin spears written a book accusing him of a bunch of stuff including being the drug pusher and basically created the meltdown that we saw about five years ago when she shaved her head and ultimately taken away in an ambulance and her dad ultimately got a conservativeship over her. on the other side, sam lutfi saying i'm the good guy here and trying to rescue her from drugs. so which is it? he is on the stand. they're taking a break but essentially his time to testify

and he's giving us insight in to the life of a superstar. he testifies he met her in 2007 and she liked him because he was the first person to say no and she had asked him for his hat and he said, no, because he wanted to cover his balding head. and she said, you know, i like a person who says no to me. that i think right there, that anecdote, vignette, if it is true, is a real insight in to what it's like to be a superstar that you actually make friends and invite a person in to your life just because they had the audacity to say no to you over giving them a hat. and then there's the whole issue of the paparazzi. lin spears had called sam lutfi, the general of the paparazzi, essentially saying he used the paparazzi to manipulate and corner britney and what he is saying on the stand is oh, au

contraire. what i did is she was having a meltdown of being chased of dozens of paparazzi all the time and yelling slurs at her for a provocative photo and managed to manage the paparazzi and a deal with them so they would be ready for a couple of polite pics and then go on the merry way. so who knows? but it really does give you an insight in to this is a young man, beautiful, famous, talented, super rich. the world at her feet and then when you look behind closed doors, she is having a meltdown over divorce, child custody issues, the paparazzi chasing her, everybody being a yes person around her. she doesn't know where to turn and invites a stranger in to her life and i think it's absolutely fascinating. i want to say that on my show, 7:00 p.m. eastern, we'll be all over this for the week as the trial evolves and a very sad case. the body of a beautiful

12-year-old girl dumped inside a recycling container in new jersey. who did it and why? we're diving deep in to the investigation with a team of investigative experts the try to find out why this beautiful young girl went on a bike ride and never came home. she gave a mysterious text, one of her last actions if it was her, it was from her cell phone, a very mysterious and cryptic text. we'll talk about that tonight on my show 7:00 p.m. eastern and i hope you join us because we have to work together to get justice for the family. devastated by what would appear and for some bizarre reason not calling it a homicide, she did not do this herself. but what appears to be at least to my mind the killing, the murder of a beautiful young innocent girl.

>> jane velez-mitchell, 7:00 p.m. tonight, thank you very much. >> thanks, richelle. a mom in maryland says a high caffeine energy drink killed her teenager daughter.

just in time for the holiday season, apple has unveiled its much-anticipated new ipad mini, half the size and weight of its original tablet but apple execs said the 7.9-inch tab let is not, is not a shrunker down ipad. about as thick as a pencil. brian todd was at the unveiling and joins me now by phone. so, brian, have you touched one,

have you picked it up? >> one of the editors had the chance to get it and touch and play with it in kind of their showcase room but really the ipad mini, a nice piece of hardware but a little pricey to be honest compared to what else is on the market and comparing it to. >> so it starts at $329, right? >> correct. >> okay, hmm. you think that's a little much for what this is? >> i think the biggest thing is that a lot of 7-inch tablets and apple is fine. 7.9 inches and compared it to what else is on the market and seems disingenuous to compare to a $199 and only feature the best of yours. ultimately, people are going to buy this tablet. there's still a large market of users that want a smaller tablet but $329, you have product that

is have apple's what they call the retina display, this product doesn't have it and you would think at that price point it's the best but, really, you know, i would say most people were hoping for more or at least a cheaper price point for that specific product. >> i gotcha, i gotcha. when the exec says it's not a shrunker down ipad, when's that mean? >> i think he wanted to tell people that because the tech pundits talking about this, it feels like a shrunker down ipad and more than anything else, it's a 7-inch screen and does everything the other ipads do and doesn't have any new features. it is really a smaller form factor of the current ipad and apple spin. at the end of the day and people go to buy this? yes, they still are. >> honestly, yeah, they are. >> you know? >> apple has built in customers no matter what, brian. they don't fail. >> yeah. i think one thing, though, when

you talk about building customers and loyalty, they announced an updated ipad fourth generation full size and what that means is that the ipad 3 was just released six months ago. apple decided to say, hey, we are going to give you a faster processor, faster wi-fi. we expected the new ipad to come out but not one that would really the guts inside revamped. there's a lot of people going to be upset to think, wow, i bought a regular ipad and then they just updated it six months for a product lifetime? product life cycle is very short and i think it turned off a lot of people and people who haven't purchased in a while but that's a shocker today. >> you think it's overshadowed by everyone talking about the mini? >> yeah. i think ultimately the headline is going to be apple's ipad mini is here just in time for the holiday season.

>> look at that! how about that? >> what a coincidence. >> brian, thank you so much for your expertise, your perspective. we appreciate you, buddy. get back over there. >> thank you. >> all right. here's some stories trending online right now. the presidential candidates back on the campaign trail after facing off in the last debate last night. this morning mitt romney released a new tv ad and repeat it is attack of last night saying president obama went on an apology tour taking office in 2009. world series matchup is set. the detroit tigers will face the san francisco giants. the giants came from behind in the national league championship series to overtake the st. louis cardinals. you've probably seen pictures of the black taxi cabs in london. may not be around much longer. the drivers may look for a new vehicle supplier because the maker of the black cabs is apparently going broke. jerry sandusky has been transferred to the pennsylvania state prison system. the convicted child molester moved this morning from the

county jail. sandusky will go undergo a week of tests and evaluations and then sent to another state facility for the minimum 30-year sentence. two weeks from today, voters will elect the next president of the united states. last night the political fight for the white house was in swing state of florida, a final chance for americans the see president obama and mitt romney debate face to face on foreign policy issues. and there were some zingers. >> and then the president began what i'd called the apology tour of going to various nations in the middle east and criticizing america. i think they looked at that and saw weakness. >> nothing governor romney just said is true starting with this notion of me apologizing. this has been probably the biggest whopper told in the course of this campaign. >> mr. president, the reason i called it an apology tour is because you went to the middle east and flew to egypt and to

saudi arabia and to turkey and to iraq and by the way, you skipped israel. >> when i went to israel as a candidate, i didn't take donors. i didn't attend fund-raisers. i went to yad vashem, the holocaust museum there to remind myself that the nature of evil israel will be unbreakable. >> so who won the third and final debate? cnn/orc poll gave it to president obama, 48-40. and the previous debates had romney winning the first debate and the president winning last week's town hall debate in new york. all that's left now is the campaigning until election day. the president has 11 campaign events playing for this week alone. he will make a two-day blitz in eight states, including two stops each in the battleground states of florida and ohio. he will end the week in new hampshire. this week, governor romney has two stops in nevada. he'll also visit colorado, nevada and ohio. plus, other states that haven't

his skills. >> and that's the reason, i think why you make a pub brewery. because you can try it, and because you have your only two or three typical kinds of beers. >> reporter: he is not alone. more and more micro brewers are entering the scene. and they're successful, even in these tough economic times. there are 16 pub breweries in berlin, alone. four years ago, there were only four. the micro brewers are operating in a saturated beer market with overwhelming competition from large, traditional german breweries. the research and teaching institute says more and more customers are looking for something unique. >> people feel there must be something more. and also in germany, i think, we have so much deep history in

beer brewing that also the people want to have -- that participate in this passion for beer. >> the micro brewing trend came to germany from the u.s. for phillip, it is a chance to live out his passion. he let me sample his current array of brews. >> this is the special beer, right? >> special beer. it changes every one to to two weeks. it depends on the amount, what depose out from the tap. >> okay. so i have to try this one, as well. i'm sorry. normally, i don't drink at work, but i know this is part of the job today, to drink at work. that's very good. and with micro breweries like hops and barley thriving, it seems inevitable, many others will want to get to the market. fred plankan, cnn. we have tips from clark
